Secret Mom Thoughts: Harry Potter Fun!

Harry Potter Fun!

Caitlin read the first Harry Potter book. We celebrated by watching the movie and having special snacks. We had chocolate slugs (gummie worms covered in chocolate), every beans, and wands (licorice.) Nothing like a plate fun of sugar to add to the fun!

Caitlin loved the book and movie, although she hated the book the first time she tried reading it. 7 1/2 was the right age for her to read it. Davey was not a fan of the movie at first but he came around.

Go see Leigh vs. Laundry to see more photos that will make you happy.
